    Summary

    The ice-cold mist assaulted him first, contrasting with the comparatively warm air and highlighting exactly how terrible his next two minutes were about it be. Was it worth it? To step under the spray and snuff out a little bit of his happiness forever?

    He thought of the look she would send him as he walked into the Great Hall, the way her gaze always found his and held for a tiny, infinitesimal moment before she was either drawn back into conversation, or completed whatever eating-or-drinking action she’d been midway through, or—beautifully, disastrously—sent a tiny smile over at him.

    The shiver that wracked through him had nothing to do with the goosebumps pricking along his entire body. The ache in his groin was unending.

    Fuck.

    He stepped under the spray.

    ---

    Or, Draco resorts to a cold shower or two.

    Summary

    Hermione Granger has built exactly the life she planned — successful, purposeful, and carefully controlled. The last thing she needed was Draco Malfoy walking back into it, more dangerous and more unreadable than he ever was at school.

    Draco has spent years rebuilding the Malfoy name — and made it stronger than ever. He turned himself into a wizard whose name is still synonymous with dark magic, but this time entirely by choice. The last thing he needed was close contact with the Minister's right hand, who within days would know more about his secrets than he should have ever allowed.

    When a string of unexplained deaths pulls them into the same investigation, keeping their distance stops being an option. The further they go, the more dangerous it becomes — for wizarding Britain, and for themselves.

    Meanwhile, Harry Potter is running from his own ghosts, Ron Weasley is making the most unexpected alliance of his life, and Ginny Weasley is trying to decide — whether second chances are real at all.

    Summary

    “A wider stance allows you to sink into the pose,” the instructor advises, moving between the mats on feet so light, it seems as if she’s floating. “Take it as deeply as you need. Breathe into it.”

    Upside down, Hermione meets Pansy’s eye and grins.

    “Take it,” she mouths, an encouragement and a tease.

    Pansy’s glad for the heat in the room to blame her suddenly burning cheeks on.

    ———

    Or, Pansy has a crush on her friend.
